HTC Flyer Review

HTC intorduced its first tablet, the Flyer, earlier this week at the Mobile World Congress.

Flyer would accept stylus input and also finger touches, which not available in all the other tablets.

The digital pen works similarly to its analog counterparts. The great advantage of the digital pen in HTC Flyer is that if you are sketching with the pen in the screen and if accidentally your hand brushes the screen, the device will not misinterpret the contact of your hand as an effort to open an application or something and lose the doodle. Flyer was made to do what people do naturally.

These special features would surelt help the Flyer gain attraction among consumers and also it will be ahead of many other options available in the competition.

It is expected to go on sale in the second half of the year and the company has not yet disclosed the price.
